by Press Release

WHEELING, WEST VIRGINIA – Kevin Ray Morgan, of Wheeling, West Virginia, was indicted today on a drug charge, Acting United States Attorney Randolph J. Bernard announced.

Morgan, also known as “Model,” 46, was indicted on one count of “Distribution of Heroin and Fentanyl,” one count of “Possession with Intent o Distribute Heroin and Fentanyl,” and one count of “Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine.” Morgan is accused of distributing of heroin, fentanyl, and methamphetamine in April 2021 in Wetzel County.

Morgan faces up to 20 years of incarceration and a fine of up to $1,000,000 for each count. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed will be based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Shawn M. Adkins is prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. The Marshall County Drug Task Force, a HIDTA-funded initiative, investigated.

An indictment is merely an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
